Integrated and transversal solutions that become complete lines for all the different food processing. Tecnopool TP Food Group, an according to the company new world leader in the food processing equipment sector, was created with this objective, that can be summed up with the acronym “Tp”. Tp also stands for Tecnopool, a Padua company (Italy) whose lines for all processing food treatments can be found all over the world. It was Tecnopool, in fact, that grouped together Gostol, Tecnofryer, Logiudice Forni, Mimac Italia and Mecateck Group, companies with a strong international mission to guarantee that customers receive complete, integrated and customized solutions.

Different realities are united by the awareness that the best innovations come only from uniting skill and intuition, that in today’s increasingly more global market the most ambitious challenges can only be overcome together. The pillars are the same ones that characterised the growth of each company over the past decades: flexibility, reliability and efficiency, innovation, listening to and paying attention to customers. The numbers – an overall turnover of more than 100 million Euros, eight production units in four countries and more than 500 employees – are the accelerator for Tecnopool TP Food Group’s continual global development, as is proven by the success of the Group at the main international trade shows.

This success is headed by Tecnopool, which is obtaining approval from different sectors: in addition to the traditional bakery sector, it is answering the growing demand for meat and vegetable processing technology. This is because its in-house patents can be adapted to suit all food processing systems, guaranteeing maximum productivity, quality of the product, lower energy costs and easy maintenance. +++
